Yesterday was Jack's 5 month birthday- totally crazy it's already been 5 months. He's getting bigger and bigger (funny how that happens, huh?) and his personality is starting to show more every day. He's a total cheeser, its so cute to watch him smile, laugh, and talk all day. He is always rolling around and digging his heels into the ground to scoot along. He started a few new "tricks" in the last week: if you open and close your mouth (like you're saying Mamma), he'll copy! I have to say its one of the cutest things I've ever seen. His other "trick" is grabbing anything, especially blankets or burp cloths and chewing on them (would you call that a trick?). Jack also loves bath time. He's getting so good at splashing, he'll soak Dan and I when we're bathing him. It's so funny!
Jack is still teething, but nothing has popped through yet, poor guy. Poor everyone in our house really- no one is getting to sleep through the night. I can't remember what its like to sleep though the night actually! He usually wakes up around 2am and 6am, but then there's last night were we were up at least a handful of times. Good thing he's so good at melting hearts!
I LOVE my little guy so so much, its crazy. I always knew I would love my kids, but I seriously didn't know it was possible to love him this much. What a guy!
Here's his 5 month stats: Here's his birthday stats:
Weight- 19lbs Weight- 9lbs 1 oz
Length- 27 inches Length- 20.5 inches
Head Circumference- 17.5 inches Head Circumference- 14 inches
Dan and I are doing great. Dan is so busy with this crazy quarter, but doing awesome. He's so smart and works so hard. I'm so proud of him. He'll be in clinic working on actual patients next quarter, so that will be fun! I'm staying really busy with Jack and having a lot of fun doing so. I'm also staying really busy working out. I have a few ribs out of place from pregnancy, so that put a damper on the CrossFit competition in a few weeks which was a huge bummer to find out, but I'm getting better slowly. I'll be a judge at the competition, so that's better than nothing! Here's a bunch of pictures of Jack from the last few weeks!

We can't wait to see him this summer! I'm excited to see what Zach thinks of him. He is only 6 lbs lighter than Zach.

ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome little guy. I am in love with his rolls.
ReplyDeletei want that hat.... and that baby
ReplyDeleteTHAT HAT. Ah man. And whoa, ribs out of place? My abs split and the doc says they'll likely never come back together, so I kind of feel you there.
ReplyDeleteJack is so cute! It's so awesome watching these little guys grow from itty bitty newborns into wiggle monsters that start to look like us.
